Answer 1

56. Dermatophytes ( are keratinophilic fungi, able to degrade and invade keratinized tissues, causing inflammation)

57. Lichens growing on metal enriched soil, accumulate massive amounts of metal and are good indicators of pollution.

58. Cordyceps sinensis ( Ophiocordyceps sinensis, a tropical and most valuable Tibetan fungus, is disappearing bcoz of overharvesting and warm weather.)

59. Mycorrhizae ( symbiotic association between green plant and fungus)

60. Aspergillus fumigatus ( lives in hot and humid climate, produce aflatoxins)

61. Penicillium

62. Coccidioides immitis ( soil fungus, causes infection when inhaled and causes Valley fever which can be diagnosed with a blood test)

63. Ascomycetes ( are heterotrophic and can be decomposers or pathogens).

64. D. Results in heterokaryotic or dikaryotic cells.

65. D. Diploid

( Karyogamy is fusion of two haploid eukaryotic cells i.e. fusion of two nuclei)
